excuse me, but that's like telling someone to hold still while you throw darts at them!
To put it simple ddroid33, first you should learn C++ before you start with graphics. I'm guessing you're new, right? I started programming two years ago with the thought of making a game really fast. Didn't happen until 9 months later, when I figured out how to show monochrome display bitmap 1x1. I cheered forever. Anyway, I hate it when people just tell you how wrong you are and don't give you anything. If you want to display a picture, it must depend on your compiler. If you are using a windows Compiler, like Visual C++ or Dev-C++, then you must learn win32 programming. It really sucks if you don't know C++. If your compiler is DOS, like DJGPP or Borland Turbo C++, then it might be alittle easier to put a picture on. Hmmm, go to http://www.shdon.com and go under their graphics section. Download how to display a bmp or GIF. If you want to display the bitmap then you will have to use an extremly simple bitmap editor, like microsoft paint. Then use the code from shdon.com, and use it's LoadBMP() function to display the bitmap. Atleast I think that's the function for loading the Bitmap. You'll figure it out once you look at main(). Good Luck Grasshopper.

well whatever you do, just get that video address and have at it... any way you can... and realize you've got the power to control your display... and do it to it's fullest... [and see my behold link in my sig willya? thanks! ] i hope you are inspired and take it far...
